about hazelnut

I started this ole thing a few years ago when I was just starting to teach myself how to bake. Since then, I have gone to The French Pastry School of Chicago, moved a few times, and landed a pretty sweet job working for Whole Foods Market.

I have a problem making myself entirely too busy. Between getting married in a few months, having a (what I swear feels like more than full-time) job, and running a cool etsy store with my fiance, I am slowly learning the art of juggling adult life.

I believe in working hard and playing hard, but also taking care of yourself. I feel horrible when I eat processed foods and aim to consume as much of the fresh stuff as possible. I'm addicted to my juicer and think everyone should have one. Kale and black beans are my life source when I feel bad. I tend to think I require a little more quiet time than most people. I also can't live without coffee, red wine, and raspberry sorbet.

Feel free to hit me up at juliabakes@gmail.com with any questions, comments, and amazing job offers. I love hearing from you, even if it's weird.

I just happened upon your blog and want to say welcome! I too have a passion for baking though I've not done much pastry outside of the basic choux for eclairs and puffs. Excited to read your blog and catch up from your older posts.

Your blog is simply...delicious! Sharing with my college daughter (in NYC) who loves to cook. Thanks for providing such interesting yet easy recipes...exactly the way she likes to cook! And your creative writing is an extra "treat"! :) (I was also raised in a small town in southern Illinois...and now live in NC.)
